A youth story of a passerby at the end of the world

"Huh... you don't have work today?" He turned around and looked at Yui Yuigahama, who still had her eyes closed.

"Hehehe..." She nestled against my chest, half-asleep.

"Never mind." Shaking his head, Uesugi Genshin pulled his arm out, stretched it a bit, and then covered her tightly with the blanket, brushing away the hair that was stuck to her face.

He still had a task in the morning; he skipped the morning class for the executive department because he needed to find the fishing boat his father had seen.

After putting on my clothes and tidying up their clothes, I went to the empty living room. Had the other two not returned yet?

"I'm going out." Standing in the entryway, he quietly and with a touch of ceremony pushed open the door.

"Ah..." She bumped into Iroha Isshiki and Hina Ebina as they returned.

"..."

"Senpai?! What are you doing here?" Looking up, Isshiki Iroha was very surprised, her mind went blank, and she didn't understand why her senpai would come out of her house.

“Eh…” Ebina Hina gave a meaningful smirk; she was as perceptive as ever.

"Welcome back?" Uesugi Genshin planned to slip past the two and make his escape.

Wait until the apartment door closes.

“...Ah! Could it be?!” Standing in the entrance hall, Isshiki Iroha hesitated for a few seconds, then suddenly remembered Miura-senpai’s request last night. She had asked Miura to help her arrange a training camp, but she hadn’t given a reason.

"Oh my, oh my..." Seeing that she had guessed something, Ebina Hina laughed mischievously.

"Senior Ebina!" Isshiki Iroha was eager to confirm her guess, just in case she was wrong.

However, Hina Ebina didn't say it explicitly, saying, "Who knows?"

"Aaaaaah..." Iroha jumped up and down in frustration, wondering what would happen if she hadn't agreed, or rather...

It seems she really missed something.

What exactly did Miura-senpai do behind her back?!

-----------------

Safety.

When Uesugi Genshin returned to his home, he felt relieved.

"Yo~"

Looking in the direction of the sound, I saw my father drinking tea on the sofa. The tea must have been placed there by Yukinoshita.

He himself doesn't drink tea much, but as the No.1 beverage in the East, it is still kept in the cupboard by Yukinoshita for future use.

"Oh~" Uesugi Genshin also sat on the sofa and poured himself a cup of tea to warm his stomach.

"Where did you go last night?" Uesugi's father asked, picking up his teacup.

Last night, he waited and waited, but his son didn't show up. Eventually, he couldn't wait any longer and went to sleep.

Unexpectedly, he didn't come home that night.

“…Well, how should I put it?” Uesugi Genshin crossed his arms, rested his chin on them, and replied casually, “I’ve given you two more daughters-in-law.”

"!" His hand trembled, and the steaming tea splashed directly onto his thigh. Uesugi's father hurriedly wiped it off haphazardly, "It's so hot..."

"Don't be so happy."

Faced with his son's teasing, Uesugi's father glared back. Was he happy?

No, he was absolutely thrilled!

Which girl is it?

"Yes, just the ones you know, Miura and Yuihama." Uesugi Genshin wiped the table with a kitchen towel.

"Ah, it's the two of them..." Uesugi's father's eyes widened suddenly. He seemed to have heard something incredible, and looked up at his son in astonishment. "Huh?! Two of them?"

"Yes."

"..."

Haaaaah!!!

Chapter 175: Setting Sail

This incident shocked Uesugi's father for a long time; he was even stunned on the way home.

She was probably thinking to herself, "Is this still the same son who never cried or made a fuss since he was little, who was well-behaved, not willful, and very obedient, and who I don't have to worry about at all now that he's grown up?"

There will be no more time to worry, because there's no room left to worry. Even the matter of finding a marriage partner has been settled, and the next step is to have children.

If I had the chance, I would help look after the children, but given the current situation, I can only dream about it.

There will be no morning class, but this wasn't announced in advance yesterday.

Judging from the time, they probably haven't left home yet.

Well, it's definitely more convenient to talk at the dojo.

So Uesugi Genshin dutifully cooked a meal, and the father and son ate at the same table for the first time in more than a year. But to his regret, his mother, who would ask him if he wanted another bowl, was not sitting at the table, and he was the one who cooked the meal.

By the time he arrived late with his father, the execution department's training hall was already packed with people.

He pointed to the entrance of the dojo, indicating that his father should wait there for a while.

After understanding, Uesugi's father found a place near the entrance, sat down, and continued to observe the situation inside.

The dojo was only half full of people, lined up on both sides, with a not-so-narrow passageway in the middle. At the far end sat the little girl named Hayasaka Ai whom they had met yesterday, who seemed to be their son's subordinate. The other person was their son's famous girlfriend.

But this situation...

Good morning, everyone.

They all bowed deeply, adding a respectful greeting, "Good morning!"

Isn't this really the scene of some kind of violent gang?

Uesugi Genshin sat down in his seat and announced, "There will be no morning class today. I'll be assigning tasks."

"Yes," the crowd responded in hushed tones.

He pointed to Hayato Hayama on his right, "The people from Hayama and I boarded the yacht together and went out to sea to find fishing boats."

"Yes~" With his usual smile, Hayama Hayato readily agreed.

Then he turned to look at the secretary sitting beside him, "Hayasaka, find two people from Shuchiin who know how to sail to come and accompany us."

"I understand." Hayasaka Ai nodded expressionlessly.

Then he looked to his left, “The Hachiman team continued cleaning the park this morning, and according to the plan, there’s only a little bit left.”

The daily progress is recorded on the whiteboard in the office, and Hachiman and Hayama are aware of it, so there's no need to worry about that.

"Received," Hachiman replied in return.

“That’s all,” Uesugi Genshin said, raising his head. “Those who are with me, please meet at the park entrance at 8:30.”

"Disband."

"Yes!"

The executives left in an orderly fashion, and as they walked out the door, they didn't forget to nod and bow to their father, the minister, who was standing at the entrance.

Sakurajima Mai stayed at the back, and Hayasaka Ai also left because she had to go find more people, leaving only her and Uesugi Genshin walking towards the door.

"How is it?" Uesugi Genshin asked, his hand resting on the sword at his waist, his words carrying a hidden meaning.

"Very energetic?" Uesugi's father asked uncertainly.

"Are you some corporal?" Uesugi Genshin asked with a shrug.

“Hey~, I remember you used to be too lazy to even join clubs.” Uesugi’s father recalled the past. “I never thought you would become a club president now.”

"And the student council vice president," Mai Sakurajima added from the side, standing behind him. She didn't mind giving her lover face in front of his father.

"Yes, yes, and the vice president too." Uesugi's father said jokingly, crossing his arms.

"Because they need a leader." Uesugi Genshin stated the facts, spreading his hands. "I also don't like uncontrollable situations that drag me down with them."

"Heh, do you think you're a hero?" Uesugi's father raised his eyebrows, sounding like he was in a manga.

“Yes, I do feel that way.” Uesugi Genshin joked with his father in a humble tone.

Hero? How could he be? He had no spirit of self-sacrifice whatsoever.

If a zombie apocalypse were to occur, he would immediately lead his men to escape.

"There's still a little over half an hour left." Uesugi's father glanced at his watch. "Is there anything else you need to do in the meantime?"

"Nothing's wrong?"

"Then I'd like to take some photos and bring them back to show your mother." Uesugi's father took out his phone and shook it.

"...No problem."

-----------------

At the entrance to the seaside park, looking up at the sky, one sees a perfectly clear sky.

In addition to the bluish clouds, a circular prism that was transmitting light also appeared vaguely in my field of vision.

Fortunately, it's still spring, or even just early spring, and the temperature is just right.

In short, it's weather suitable for battle.

"Phew..." Watching his father scroll through his phone and nod with satisfaction, Uesugi Genshin wondered what his mother would think after seeing these photos.

So I went to their workplace and took a photo with them.

There's also Yui Yuigahama, who hasn't gotten up yet in the apartment. She's holding the key Yumiko gave her. She went in by herself, snuggled up to the bed, and took a picture with her phone.

Given the limited conditions, looking sleepy should be fine, at least there's no eye discharge.

I just came down from the apartment building.

Seeing that everyone had arrived.

"Let's go," Uesugi Genshin said.

The troops moved together toward the yachts moored by the sea; there was a small boat berth in the seaside park.

It might not be accurate to say it's a dedicated boat parking area; it's more likely a recreational vehicle like a jet ski. However, since it's not summer, I didn't see any.

Once I actually arrived at the seaside, I immediately felt relaxed.

The ocean ahead was far safer than the city behind, which was quite ironic.

One by one, they boarded the yacht, which was quite large, especially the space under the deck.

"How luxurious!" Hobu Sho exclaimed excitedly, jumping around on the boat.

"Well, it belongs to someone else," Uesugi Genshin said tentatively. "If we have the chance, we can pick one up too."

"Really?" You see, he grinned when he heard that.

"Quiet down!" Uesugi Genshin snapped.

I already said there's a chance, let's think about it for now and talk about it later.

"Yes~"

"Have you brought everything up?" Uesugi Genshin asked Hayasaka Ai, having given her all the money yesterday and asked her to bring all the useful supplies onto the ship.

Therefore, he borrowed money from Feng Bin for dinner and other things yesterday. No, it can't be considered a loan, because he probably won't have to pay it back.

“Yes, it’s been ready for a while,” Hayasaka Ai replied, standing to the side like a deputy.

She took him down to the deck for a look, and she had to admit that the yacht was quite nice, with a woody brown main color that had a great feel to it.

As I passed by the kitchen, I glanced at it and saw that it had everything: an induction cooker, an oven, a freezer, a refrigerator, and a dishwasher.

There are even three toilets!

The living room and other rooms were filled with supplies. One room contained several bags of flour, enough to feed a family of three for three years without any problem. As long as they were careful to keep it dry, any more would likely cause it to mold and spoil.

The diesel fuel, stored in barrels in a secluded and safe corner, was originally a small amount drawn from the fuel storage facilities in Xinhang for future use.

I was thinking of supplying it to the generator, but we don't need it right now, so there's not much diesel left. I'll go and pump some more another day.
